2009 College Football Week 8: Free picks and game previews for betting Week 8 in NCAA Football
www.sbrforum.com – Justin7 returns in person to join SBR.tvs Peter Loshak in discussing Week 8 in college football, informed as always by his college football stat model. The Oklahoma game attracted a ton of early split action, causing the line to bounce back and forth, repeatedly moving on and off the key number of 7 in the early going. Loshak is thinking No. 24 Kansas might have value as a good-sized home dog, and is encouraged by Justin7s agreement as well as reports of some sharp action on the Jayhawks. No. 2 Florida was bounced from the top spot in the rankings this week, not due to a loss, but due to less-than-dominant performances on the field recently. Nevertheless, the oddsmakers installed the Gators as a 3+ TD road favorite against Mississippi St., and the market pushed that line up even higher. The Bulldogs may not be an elite squad, but they have kept reasonably close to other ranked teams when at home, and Loshak and Justin7 discuss this huge line, agreeing that it is probably a bit too high. Undefeated No. 7 Iowa rolls into Michigan St. looking to keep their surprising season going, and there has been a lot of debate concerning just how good the Hawkeyes really are. With a strong defense and a physical but not flashy offense, the betting market has been resistant to back them, and this week again the line has moved against them. Justin7s model, however, rates Michigan St as a solid favorite in this intriguing handicapping situation. No. 9 LSU is off of a bye …

I agree with teasing LSU to -1.5. Auburn may be looking to keep it close. LSU’s offense didnt look spectacular against Florida.
I do however like the pick on Iowa. I would like to see some movement on the line to give them some points, but i think the straight pick is the way to go right now.

that Iowa line looks suspicious to me..look at common opponent Wis..Iowa beat them by 10..misc st lost by 8 to them..Mich st shouldn’t be the fav in this game.

Are you retarded? At what point did I say I was picking the Iowa game? I said I LIKE it and I THINK its a good pick…I never said I was putting action on it. You need to check yourself idiot.
Im 2-1 (66%) this week, called Denver taking the pts which even the sharps picked against and called FSU taking the pts….horrible you say? Wake up and quit making “horrible” comments that have no merit.
